A new poll finds 2 out of every 5 Black women in California are just one paycheck away from financial instability.

The first-of-its-kind survey of 1,258 Black women across the state revealed 37% work two or more jobs — and 62% of them said the second job is “essential” and they would “not be able to make ends meet” without it.

More than 75% of Black households are headed by single Black mothers, and in 80% of Black households women are the breadwinners, according to a separate 2022 report by the collective.

Maybe black men should step up and become responsible fathers.

Refuse to allow Deep State try to pit you against your fellow Americans and, if you don’t already, support Donald Trump.

Not just a black women problem.

How’s that hedonism working out for the black community? Blacks, like everybody else, need less government and more Jesus.
